Look, all the conspiracy stuff is fascinating in a morbid sort of way. But, it is not possible to stage this sort of event and then cover it up with the hundreds of people involved.

This terrible shooting happened. Adam Lanza was the shooter. He did use his mother’s Bushmaster AR-15 in the massacre. Facts are facts. Denying these facts makes people look like loons. No offense intended.

Here are some other facts:
1. Gun control groups and leftist politicians politicized this event and tried to rush legislation through before the public had time to really consider the implications of such legislation.

2. These gun control proponents had some success in a few legislatures before effective opposition to their legislation could be mounted.

3. Ultimately, the NRA and public reaction to these gun control efforts stopped most of this proposed legislation.

4. Most politicians know that gun control is a loser for them in elections, especially democrats in contestable seats. Democrats in safe seats will continue to push for gun control, but this will not happen as long the 2nd Amendment supporters are vigilant and more energized than those trying to take away that natural right.

5. Police response was not as fast as authorities claim. Some police arrived at the school, but did not enter the school for several minutes. This brief gap upon arrival and entry into the school almost certainly resulted in more people dying. In any event, the shooter killed a lot of defenseless people in a short period of time regardless how timely the police response. All of this just proves that making a place a “gun-free” just makes that place more vulnerable to armed criminals and lunatics. Gun control prevents law-abiding people from effectively protecting themselves.
